You have been to churchyard funerals. You have sat beside gravestones. You have mourned someone (maybe multiple someones) who meant the world to you. But you are still standing. You are still here. You are still making them proud.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

You don’t let anything hold you back from getting what you want. A barrier could be put up between you and your dream job or your dream person, but you would break it down. You never give up, even when it would be the easiest thing to do. You keep going. You never stop.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

You are capable of handling so much work. So much stress. So much bullshit. Even when life gets hard, you are somehow able to keep yourself together. Even when you feel like breaking, you manage to make it through, because that is the kind of person you are.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

You have walked away from friendships and relationships you once swore you could never live without. You proved to yourself that you can survive on your own, even with a broken heart and no one to help you heal. Your rough times have helped you see that you are strong. Self-sufficient. Independent.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

You are positive. You are optimistic. You still find the good in the world around you, even though it would be easy for you to turn into a pessimist after all of the shit you have seen throughout your life. But you keep your head up. You keep your hopes up. You do your best to enjoy life.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

You are there for other people, even when you’re falling apart yourself. You help them whenever they call for you, even though you have your own issues to handle. Not only are you strong enough to deal with your own problems, but you give other people strength as well.

You never let your fears get in the way of your successes. You have gone on interviews, even though you were afraid of failure. You have gone on dates, even though you were afraid of rejection. You have made it through your toughest days, even though you weren’t sure if you could survive them at first.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

You have spoken your mind when it could have gotten you into trouble. You have done the right thing when everyone pressured you to do the opposite. You have followed your gut instead of going with the crowd — and that takes courage.

You have created a life for yourself. All on your own, without anyone else handing you the keys to success. You didn’t take a shortcut to get to where you are today. You worked your ass off to make enough money to pay for your car, your food, your apartment. You are thriving on your own.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

You have stepped outside of your comfort zone. You have accomplished things that you never envisioned doing. You have surprised even yourself with how much you are capable of, with how much you have grown from when you were young and angry at the world.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

You admit when you are wrong. You say sorry. You tell other people how you are feeling instead of pretending you are fine. You are strong enough to stay in touch with your emotions, while other people hide their feelings away until they snap.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

You are strong enough to move passed the past. To forgive the people who have hurt you — but to cut them out of your life when they no longer belong. And more importantly, you forgive yourself for any mistakes you might have made.

Creativity can strike at any moment — make sure you’re prepared for it.

To help you do that, we created a functional backpack with the everyday artist in mind. Whether you’re going to school, embarking on a new adventure, or simply just exploring the world around you, take your passion with you.

We hope that this backpack becomes a home for the stories you love, the stories you’ve told and the stories you’ve yet to tell.
